Production | Baldesarri’s work ‘The Fallen Easel’ consists of nine prints appropriated from cinema footage; five half-toned positive printed on aluminium, three parts printed on Arches 88 paper and one part printed in Ragcote. Printing of the work was carried out by Robert Dansbury, Richard Hammond, and Francisco Siqueiros at Cirrus Editions in Los Angeles. When assembled as a whole the configuration of the work is as follows: The central panel shows a hand held gun which points towards a picture at the right depicting three men, each of their faces obscured by a screen-printed circle of primary colour. Below them is a print of a leaping fish. At the left is a tilted photograph of an easel on the ground. Above these are five aluminium strips of film clips showing glances between several characters. |
